ELABORATION

Manual harvest in boxes of 15 kg. Carefully selected grape cluster by cluster from the oldest vines of the native Mantonegro variety, a variety with a lot of aromatic potential, which produces warm and fruity wines. The wine is conjured with a part of Merlot from younger vines, which give it more structure.
